I love the show and love Marcus, but I would echo what more than one person has said already, how is it that he took them at their word prior to writing the check? Doesn't he have people that just automatically do that for him? I would think that wouldn't be something beyond shaking hands, but just preperation prior to entanglement. In other words, had he had someone just run through everything prior, would he have even started the process? Probably not, and perhaps the drama of the show caused that progression? We don't know, but seems likely.
An interesting secondary aspect is that if you go to their Facebook page the comments shift dramatically from the time the show aired, not a good way to run a business, especially one where reputation is important (e.g. food and sundries).
Still curious where the hell all that money went, seems like that should have been made known as well...
Anyhow, love the show (interesting at the least), and will always love Marcus, if I could ever find a mentor, he would be it for certain.
